I think this makes sense for all teams involved…
Grizzlies need a wing to play the Brooks role and balance out their starting five (DFS)
Lakers need a starting guard that’s not a cone (Smart)

CHRISTIAN KOLOKO 2022-23 STATS
Koloko is now at 243 lbs, up from 230 lbs he was at with Raptors. Much bigger than 200 lbs.
Below are his stats for year with Raps. Only played 13.8 mpg. Stats for 36 mpg w/b 8.2 pts, 7.7 rbs (incl 3.8 Off, 1.4 ast, 0.9 stls, and 2.6 blks. pic.twitter.com/TU2xTs0KrL— LakerTom (@LakerTom) September 29, 2024

Lakers may have landed a 24 year old center prospect who could develop into the perfect fit next to Anthony Davis on both sides of the ball. Most importantly, Koloko looks like the real deal as a shot blocker and should be able to step right in as the backup when AD goes to the bench. With time, Lakers should be able to develop Christian into the perfect center to pair in a two-bigs lineup with Anthony Davis. Great addition to the team. Will likely get standard contract once camp is over and the Lakers create additional roster spots to add players to the 15-man roster.

Take the time to watch this video of Koloko’s defensive highlights as a Raptor 2-years ago. This kid c/b the center the Lakers need to develop to play next to Anthony Davis. Kid is tall and long and an elite jumper. He can stay with guards and block layups and threes and is an elite offensive rebounder.

I wonder how soon we will see him. He hasn’t played in over a year so I would not be surprised if he played a lot of G league during the first part of the year. Castleton may see more minutes early. Evidently he has looked good this summer. He has put on weight and muscle. Strength was his biggest weakness because he is a pretty skilled player. Between the two we have a 100 games, so until we trade for a center at least we have some depth there. In a perfect world one of them will shine enough so we won’t need a trade.

I would almost prefer developing the three young centers we have and going after a journeyman center like Valanciunas, which seems like the inevitable solution.
I still think Castleton is a year or two away but Koloko has such great defensive ability he could be a contributor this season. If he can cover center when AD rests, he could change our decision to trade. Valanciunas can’t do that. Koloko could be perfect front court mate for AD.
I would prefer to target an elite defensive guard (Marcus Smart) rather than mediocre center. Koloko can protect the rim and is a great offensive rebounder. With newbies Knecht and koloko and healthy Vincent and Vando, Lakers new head coach Redick does have some new talent to help him get Lakers back on track.

I am hoping NBA will clear Koloko soon. I know those workout tapes were highlights, but I am really interested to see how he looks in training camp. Apparently his reported weight is wrong & he is actually about 243 lb (I think his agent reported this (?)) but if he looks good…

Christian Koloko Offseason Scrimmage Mini-Compilation:
CJK’s been pretty active this Summer & has really worked to get his 5-on-5 reps and conditioning up to speed.
Just a bit strange that the NBA has yet to Clear him yet a week out from Training Camp.

Mitchell Robinson is projected to make 14.3 million for the 2024-25 season.
The Lakers do have some players that come close to this salary number, but do they have the assets, and ultimately, will Rob Pelinka make a move? pic.twitter.com/x3ofeDLtr5

With news that the Knicks are interested in trading Mitchell Robinson, how would Laker fans feel about this trade? pic.twitter.com/1b0lUJrZei

That’s not happening. His injury timetable has been changed from a December return to indefinite. Not a good sign.

When healthy, however, Robinson would be a massive upgrade for Lakers. Might be able to get a bargain deal for him long as he would be healthy by 2025. Much better fit than Valanciunas.

Proposed trades are always one word away from being a clickbait title….many of the articles are AI assisted, if not entirely created by AI. Who is this guy that wrote the article??? https://intelligentrelations.com/journalist/sourav-mahanty/

Koloko at 243 lbs looks very promising as a center prospect.

Wood and Koloko should swap positions.

100%. CK is a project and doesn’t have the proven skillset Wood can bring when healthy and engaged. I’ll be very surprised if CK has a featured role, at least coming out of camp.
